The 2007 beating and subsequent death of Angel Nieva at a Las Vegas, Nevada timeshare resort has prompted his family, including his wife Lydia to file a wrongful death suit against the resort. Lydia was with Angel when they were both savagely beaten and robbed. The suit alleges the business in question failed to take the proper steps to ensure the security and general well being of their guests. It also alleges that the business in question declined to reveal the nature of the guests’ potential danger to them.
Angel and Lydia Nieva, both in their early sixties at the time of the incident, were attacked and beaten by numerous assailants on May 29, 2007 at a resort called “Tahiti.” They were also robbed of most of the possessions they carried. Local police confirmed that several perpetrators between the ages of fifteen and twenty-two were responsible for the attack. Angel and Lydia Nieva were discovered soon afterward, and were taken to University Medical Center immediately following the attack. Unfortunately, some time after arriving, Angel Nieva succumbed to his injuries. Lydia Nieva was treated and eventually released.
The following quotation is taken directly from the suit:
“There had been other similar assaults in the recent past on the premises of the Tahiti Village Vacation Club and…defendants knew that the security provided was insufficient to protect against these assaults and they failed to warn decedent (Angel Nieva) and his wife (Lydia Nieva) of those assualts and they also failed to rectify or amend their security practices and procedures in light of these previous assaults.”
In layman’s terms the suit basically alleges that the company knew there was a history of violent and criminal behavior occuring on their property. It also alleges that the company knew this, but still continued to invite guests to stay at their resort. And they did this without providing adequate defense from this violent and criminal element. They also didn’t make any of their guests aware of the potential danger.
The amount sought by the suit in special, punitive, or civil damages was unspecified at the time of this printing. The owner of The Tahiti Village Vacation Club is a company called Consolidated Resorts Inc. This company is located on Tropicana Avenue near South Decatur Boulevard. A spokesman for Consolidated Resorts Inc. refused comment on the pending suit.
